pinctrl: Fix two deadlocks
This patch is to fix two deadlock cases. Deadlock 1: CPU #1 pinctrl_register-> pinctrl_get -> create_pinctrl (Holding lock pinctrl_maps_mutex) -> get_pinctrl_dev_from_devname (Trying to acquire lock pinctrldev_list_mutex) CPU #0 pinctrl_unregister (Holding lock pinctrldev_list_mutex) -> pinctrl_put ->> pinctrl_free -> pinctrl_dt_free_maps -> pinctrl_unregister_map (Trying to acquire lock pinctrl_maps_mutex) Simply to say CPU#1 is holding lock A and trying to acquire lock B, CPU#0 is holding lock B and trying to acquire lock A. Deadlock 2: CPU #3 pinctrl_register-> pinctrl_get -> create_pinctrl (Holding lock pinctrl_maps_mutex) -> get_pinctrl_dev_from_devname (Trying to acquire lock pinctrldev_list_mutex) CPU #2 pinctrl_unregister (Holding lock pctldev->mutex) -> pinctrl_put ->> pinctrl_free -> pinctrl_dt_free_maps -> pinctrl_unregister_map (Trying to acquire lock pinctrl_maps_mutex) CPU #0 tegra_gpio_request (Holding lock pinctrldev_list_mutex) -> pinctrl_get_device_gpio_range (Trying to acquire lock pctldev->mutex) Simply to say CPU#3 is holding lock A and trying to acquire lock D, CPU#2 is holding lock B and trying to acquire lock A, CPU#0 is holding lock D and trying to acquire lock B.
